Tho recently reported discovery of tho famous Duchess of Gainsborough painting In the cellar of a house at Chelsea is a striking Instance of the peculiar places In which works of art by old Flemish and Italian masters havo been discovered. It would, In deed, come as a great surprlso to those art masters to know the almost degrad ing circumstances under which their pictures have been found. A curious case came to light a short time ago regarding one of David Ten iers' famous works of art. A picture dealer found It among a quantity of canvases which a second-hand dealer was exhibiting for sale at Montmartre. The dealer had put them on one side ns worthless, nnd the collector, glanc ing through them, came across one which was a genuine painting by Ten lers. All doubt of Its authenticity was removed when the monogram of the famous Flemish master was traced in tho corner of the picture. One of Titian's finest pictures has been discovered in a most peculiar place. It Is owned by some half-custes In Mexico, and adorns one of their churches. Fabulous sums have been offered for it by artists who have been to examine this painting, but the own ers will not part with It. It Is guarded In a most careful manner, nnd every visitor Is accompanied by an Indian while the picture is being viewed. Ex ports who have seen It agree as to Its genuineness. The painting is sixteen feet long by seven feet high, and Is a scene of the entombment of Christ. Its state of preservation is marvelous, con sidering that more than 300 years have elapsed slnco the artist painted It. Not long ago u genuine Van Dyke was discovered In that painter's natlvo city, Antwerp, In a most singular man ner. In one of tho poorer neighbor hoods two houses partly collapsed, which necessitated their being demol ished together. While the work was In operation one of the workmen came ncross u vers' dirty painting, which he throw on one side with some other rub bish. Ono of the other men, who had a little talent for painting, took it home, with the intention of cleaning It. He" was amazed at the exquisite coloring, und, thinking that he might perhaps be nble to sell it, consulted a picture dealer. Tho dealer gave him a small sum for the canvus, nnd iv few days later an eminent artist passing the shop recog- TOUIO FOR Mothers ?
